A little turning around the Olympics

[Dirk Hoogendoorn]

While watching the Olympics it dawned on me that my brothers birthday was coming up (today) so I got re-acquainted with my lathe and I turned this little platter of Manitoba Maple 9 1/2" by 2 1/2" and a salad bowl finish. I thought it turned out well. Dirk H

It turned out quite well Dirk. Like the form and he will love it.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Very nice Dirk! Really like the different shape and the vibrant colors! I am sure your brother will love it!

[alex carey]

Beautiful, i like the fact that its 6 sided, very cool.

[David E Keller]

Pretty cool shape... nice to see something a little different. Great bit of spalt and figure in that boxelder/Manitoba maple. Happy Birthday indeed.

[John Keeton]

Really a nice contrast in shape and color - and a very nice gift. Your brother should be pleased!

[Allen Neighbors]

Great work! If he doesn't like it, send it to me. :)

[Roland Martin]

I agree Dirk. It turned out very well. Nice turning & finish. Great birthday gift.

Last evening on the TV, there was a short segment during the Curling event where they explored the origins of the Curling Stones. The granite comes from an island off the coast of Scotland and is turned on a lathe to final shape.

Looks great and well done. It will make a great gift also.

[Brian Effinger]

Very unique Dirk. I really like it. :)

I would say that it turned out very well. Your brother is sure to enjoy this for years to come. Well done!
